Help Shape What’s Next: Join the IABC Southwestern Ontario Board

There’s something special happening in Southwestern Ontario—and it’s just getting started.

As we come together as a newly formed IABC Southwestern Ontario chapter, we’re standing at a pivotal moment. This isn’t just a continuation of what’s come before—it’s an opportunity to build something new, meaningful, and impactful for communications professionals across our region.

And we’re looking for passionate people to help shape that future.

Why join the Board?

Serving on the IABC SWO Board of Directors is more than a volunteer role—it’s a chance to grow, connect, and make a difference in the communications community.

Whether you’re looking to expand your leadership experience, build your professional network, or give back to a profession that has given you so much—this is a space where you can do all of that, and more.

Even better? These are hands-on roles. You won’t just contribute ideas—you’ll see them come to life.

Current opportunities

We’re currently recruiting for three key roles:

  • Vice President - Provides strategic leadership and helps shape the vision and direction of the chapter. Partners with the Board to drive engagement, growth, and overall chapter success.

  • Vice President, Finance - Oversees financial planning, budgeting, and reporting to ensure strong fiscal health. Supports informed decision making by maintaining transparency and financial discipline.

  • Director of Professional Development - Leads the development of engaging programs that support member learning and career growth. Creates opportunities for skill-building, connection, and professional advancement.

Each role plays an important part in shaping the direction, experience, and impact of our chapter. Now, as we evolve into a regional chapter, the opportunity ahead is even bigger.

Be part of building something special

We’re planning to finalize recruitment over the next couple of months, and we’d love to connect with anyone who’s even a little bit curious. If you’re interested in getting involved - or just want to learn more - reach out through this form. There’s no pressure, just an open conversation about how you might contribute.

Because the best communities aren’t built by chance - they’re built by people who show up, lean in, and help shape what comes next.

Let’s build something great together!
